Visitors set for a sensory experience at Farm Gate pavilion

Visitors will have the opportunity to learn, taste, touch, smell and experience the region’s finest food and wine first hand at Henty Machinery Field Day’s Farm Gate Produce Market.

The market has grown into a key attraction at the field days, which will be held on Tuesday, September 22 to Thursday, September 24.

Featuring over 20 regional exhibitors, the Farm Gate pavilion is located on the southern edge of the field day site and will host cooking demonstrations, and talks by food and wine presenters.

These will include Courtney Roulston and Michael Weldon, of hit television show MasterChef, and Beechworth baker and life coach Tom O’Toole.

Adding to the atmosphere will be talented young musicians from the Dreamfields mentoring program and Border singer-songwriter Brock Shirley on the Farm Gate stage.

Farm Gate spokesman Jason Crowley, of Wagga, is excited about taking part in an event that celebrates a passion for the land and its produce.

Mr Crowley said Farm Gate was a growth area of Henty and showcased the fruits of the labours of those working the land.

“The Farm Gate is really a great celebration of the hard working farming communities in Australia, and it allows visitors to experience the vast array of products and produce from our region,’’ he said.

“The Farm Gate section is bigger than ever and is always bringing something different to field day visitors.’’
